Stroke & Turn Official:
Here is the link from Missouri Valley Swimming LSC.
Here are some steps to simplify the process:
STEP 1: Set up a USA Swimming Account (Renew annually) $76
This page gives directions on how to use the link given by EKC if you are a current swim family of EKC.
STEP 2: USA Swimming Criminal Background Check (Renew every 2 years) $38
STEP 3: Athlete Protection Training (Renew every 12 months) Free
STEP 4: Concussion Protocol Training - (You will need to send a screenshot of your completion certificate to [email protected]). Free
STEP 5: Take the USA Swimming Test for Stroke & Turn/Timer (The test is open book and is pretty easy. All questions give the location in the Rulebook to where the answer can be located!) Must take recertification test every 2 years.
STEP 6: Attend a training clinic (Attend for recertification every year). If you cannot attend a Stroke & Turn Training Clinic, you may complete an online version of the clinic:
Email your completed certificate to the Member/Certifications Chair ([email protected]) for the MV Officials Committee in order to have your clinic posted to your member record.
STEP 7: Apprentice on Deck (A total of 6 sessions @ 2 different meets). You will schedule these assignments with me as EKC attends meets.
**You may need to send an email to the Member/Certifications Chair for the MV Officials Committee, to make sure your registrations have been received for every step.
